Displays for use in medical electronics are subject to increased requirements that suppliers must meet. First and foremost is reliability, followed by the duration of innovation cycles, which differ greatly from consumer electronics, for example.
Components for medical devices must also be available for many years. ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY has been facing up to these challenges for a long time and is now presenting a new display from the EA DOG series for this application.
With the EA DOGM128-6, for example, the customer receives a graphic display with 128 x 64 dots. Seven different LED backlights are available as an option. In combination with five different display technologies (STN transmissive and reflective, STN blue, FSTN positive and negative), up to around 20 different designs are possible. All are characterized by high brightness and contrast.
Designed for compact hand-held devices, e.g. in medical electronics, this modern LCD series with and without illumination offers a number of other advantages:
- extremely compact at 55 x 46 mm with a viewing window of 51 x 31 mm
- super-flat with 2.8 mm without illumination or 6.5 mm incl. LED illumination
- Supply voltage range 3.0 ... 3,3 V
- Power consumption only 270 µA typ. in full operation (LED illumination white from 5 mA)
- Serial SPI interface (4-wire)
- quick and easy installation by soldering onto circuit boards via pins
Color changes in the illumination are possible. The following 7 different versions are available for individual backlighting: white, yellow/green, green, blue, red, amber and a full-color version. All of them ensure excellent readability thanks to their extreme brightness and low power consumption.
The EA DOGM128-6 modules can also be operated with EA TOUCH128-1. This is a 4-wire resistive touch, which has a self-adhesive backing, with which it is stuck directly onto the display. For best readability, ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY recommends a display with backlighting when using a touch panel.
Another special feature is that a wide range of design variants are available from stock from just 1 piece. In addition, availability of up to 10 years is guaranteed. The application of the display is supported by a customized USB evaluation kit. ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY offers this kit for quick commissioning and easy familiarization with the EA DOG display series. They are available in other sizes and dimensions as text displays (three versions with 1 x 8 to 4 x 20 characters) or graphic displays (seven versions from 1.7 to 3.9 inches).
